Brief

Collective action in canal irrigation systems management

Abstract

This brief is based on the results of a research project funded under the competitive grants program of the 2020 Vision Network for East Africa. A research report with the same title is available on IFPRI’s website (www.ifpri.org) and also upon request. Background Most of Uganda’s agriculture is rain-fed. Low and erratic rainfall is increasingly reducing crop yields and causing food insecurity. Irrigation is one option for enhancing agricultural production.
